@@charlstin1979 not exactly, 2 strokes usually have faster acceleration but the 4 strokes will catch up Both have advantages and disadvantages Like 2 strokes aren’t as reliable usually And 4 strokes are a lot quieter usually
trust me it is there for a reason, its called a kill cord buddy, and what happens is that when its attached to you if you go overboard it will cut the engine and stop you or others getting run down by a out of control boat, wear it for safety please. I seen what happens with out of control craft and its not nice.
I have the same motor with 14 foot jon boat with added 150 extra pound due to mods. Top speed is 8mph with two people. I know it's very slow, but I can't figure it why it's to slow. Can be the added weight? Any idea?
No it should be going a lot faster even if it’s loaded down I went 23mph with 3 people about 300 pounds extra with that and not including gear in a 14ft Jon boat
The telltale on these are funny because they only pee full stream when the thermostat is open lol. If you shut it off for a bit and the thermostat stays open than you start it, it will pee normally than the cold water will close the thermostat and the pee will be intermittent
This engine sounds like Four stroke! 👍 Excellent unit! With such a lightweight boat it goes AMAZING!! See my old F15 Honda on heavy 500 kg cabin crescent boat: ua-cam.com/video/rx8mUQXE0yA/v-deo.html
@@NIP28 4 stroke are better on fuel and dont have the cost of 2 stroke oil plus more environmentally friendly, if you go for a 15hp like this for example, get a EFI engine which suzuki, tohatsu and mercury + honda do, as yamaha 15 is a carb engine and alot more sluggish, whereas a EFI engine is better on fuel, better starting and more grunt. I recommend suzuki or Tohatsu buddy
Best small outboard ever made.
You can use more pitch to get faster.
Your Outboard is turning at max RPM
Nice mercury 15 HP engine ❤️
The older two strokes feel a lot more powerful then the newer 4 strokes to me
Because they are
Yea higher top speed then the 4s, the 4s have a faster acceleration though. Which I love that four stroke 🤪

The way those 2 stroke outboards scream is unlike any other outboard engine, nothing beats a 2 stroke IMO
I've never seen a safety disconnect used here in the states. Interesting, and makes sense.
haahahah

@@vikingsmb yes that's true.it can kill you.i totally agree with you.it's crazy not to wear the quick stop cord.it's for boaters' safety.
@@alexis1988 i'am a boater, also a powerboat instructor :) so happy to help

Not pumping much water
Apa bah Banda tu
I never seen that much power
On that little motor
Wow cool 😂
Those model Mercury's were amazing 2 strokes. Had a 15hp just like that one. Very reliable and quiet idling.
Short shaft 2 stroke great engine
Nice mercury 15 HP engine ❤️
They Were Made More Practical Back In That Day 😎👍👍👍
Nice amount of boogie. Just bought a 14' aluminum with a 15hp mercury 2-stroke today. Looking forward to testing it out. Moose BEWARE!!!
I have mercury 2 stroke but does half of that speed 😢 what can i do ? And it miss fires somtimes on half trottle,

No thermostat?
It's such a shame 2strokers have all gone from America. Such a cheap and easy engine to maintain.
I want one... should i get a 2 stroke or 4?

4 strokes are also heavier. 2 strokes will never need the valve adjusted. Two strokes will also smoke.
2stroke is the way to go
Do you sell these motors?
